Food always gets the spotlight with me, but music is my second passion. I like when tunesters cram into North Park’s Ritual Tavern, enjoy the buzz of Bird Rockers intermingled with actual rockers at Beaumont’s and, on the rare occasions where an act I actually know plays Anthology, that sonic supper club rocks. What I’d really like to see: Craft brewery tasting rooms featuring live music acts on a regular basis. How cool would that be? — Brandon Hernández, food writer (Twitter @offdutyfoodie)

Hate to always give props to my own establishment, but live Jazz at the Grant Grill every Saturday is hard to beat when you look at both quality of music as well as food/service! — Jeff Josenhans, director of beverage outlets and sommelier at U.S. Grant Hotel

Without hesitation I would say ‘the B.U.T” Belly Up Tavern baby! I have seen people play there that would have fill stadiums in France! The food is more than decent and the venue is totally fun... — Fabrice Poigin, private chef, restaurant consultant

I’ve secretly always wanted to saddle up to some chicken wings at the Wave House while watching all the surfers practice on the FloBarrel. I’ve only peeked through the cracks of the fence when jogging by, but it looks fun! — Sara Hanson, fine wine specialist and blogger (thesarkuswineblog.com)
